內容簡介
星期六，夏天，亞當不知道自己的生活即將在一夜之間，徹底改變卡內基文學獎《怪物來敲門》崔克‧奈斯Patrick Ness作品。
青少年亞當Adam，在虔誠的傳教士家庭中長大。亞當的性別與一般人不太一樣，不僅大眾用異樣眼光看他，家人更無法接受。對外，亞當必須對父母隱瞞自己的男友，對內，自己又陷入對前男友Enzo仍存有一絲愛戀的混亂中…。慘的是，亞當的哥哥──修道院學生，將來要繼承父志，卻意外讓女友懷孕，怕老爸氣炸，向亞當求救；在工作上，亞當的老闆因為亞當的性向，頻找他麻煩，連可以傾訴心情的好友Angela也有狀況…。同時間，在湖邊進行著另一條故事線：有個女孩被男友謀害，女孩的幽魂飄盪在湖中，計畫著有朝一日向男友復仇，不過同時在女孩身上的還有一個「女王」！
看似平行的兩個故事，其實大有關連…。儘管晦澀纏身，或許，他們還是可以從眾多束縛中，尋求釋放！
The most personal and tender novel yet from Patrick Ness, the twice Carnegie Medal-winning author of A Monster Calls.
